We have a lot of awesome deals going on at CompandSave and at times it seems tempting and practical to stock up on ink cartridges in advance. But, you question if it is a good idea to store unused cartridges for a long period of time. Good news, we give you the green light to go ahead and buy cartridges in advance! However, we want you to know how to store and care for your extra cartridges to ensure that when you go to use them they work and do not cause damage to your printer.
